ORIGIN OF METEORS.
Some Reflections by q Chicago Paper Upon
Disputed Subject.

Some Reflections by a Chicago Paper Upon
Disputed Subject.
A good many people in France seem to
have been fooled by magnificent meteor
which traversed the northern half of that
country the 18th of June, and burst into sew
eral pieces at height of little less than
twenty-five miles. One of the pieces fell at
Chaumont-sur-Loire and the mayor of that
place forwarded it to scientist in Paris, who
decided that it is lump of slick, and not a
visitor from planetary space. This circum-
stance recalls to mind shower in Chicago
early in April, 1879. Several pieces fell near
the intersection of Twenty-fOurth street and
Prairie avenue and some of them were hot
the next morning when picked up. But an
examination by local men, who were either
wise or otherwise led to the conclusion that
the falling matter was not of celestial origin.
This suggests the possibility of a mistake in
both cases.
Examination of a great many masses OF
undoubted meteoric character has resulted
in the formulating of what may be called a
creed about the appearances which must be
presented by mass of matter claimed to be
meteorlc in order that the claim be admitted.
1t is not, however, outside the bounds Of
probability that the curious in these matters
are far from having covered the whole
ground as yet. The Stag found in Chicago

The Real Reason why the London Society

The Real Reason why the London Society
Papers Attack American Women.
Some of the society papers make great
feature of attacks on the American element
In London society. There are two or three
of the society papers which never miss an
opportunity of saying unkind and severe
things about American ladies in London.
They are never weary of representing them
as crazy after royalty, court favor, and eager
IN striving to make acquaintance with titled
people One of the oftenest-repeated stories
is that American women come in great
crowds to be presented at court and that it
requires the united efforts of the lord cham
berlain and the United States minister to re-
strain this mob.
l met the editor of one of the society papers
the other day and l asked him where he got
all of his wonderful facts about American
women. His reply was strange confession

are you always criticising them so severely in

women are very jealous of the prominence
given to American ladies in London society I
SO began this kind of running fire.upon
the fair invaders of the most sacred precincts
OF London society, and the result is an enor-
nous increase in my circulation. Every
dull, heavy-minded English woman believes
that it is the presence of these American
women in society which prevents her from
receiving her due share of attention, and
consequently she reads with great pleasure
all of these attacks upon her successful rivals

doubled since have adopted this innocent
fad of poking fun at and criticising the

wilder ttan any northern Indians now in
existence. Among these Indians fifty
years ago book was marvellous thing.
1t was "Wo-wa-pe." A "wo-wa-pe"
consisted heretofore of rude paintings or
hieroglyphics. The figures of men and
horses, of battle axes and 'scalps, drawn
with coal or cut in bark, told the story of
a war party. Rude pictures of pipes and
horses feet with other such hieroglyphics,
told mans history. But to these two
faithful missionaries, amid the privations
and discouragements of those early days,
we owe the written language of the
Sioux, which existed only in sounds.
They began by making letters in the

years patient work, they translated the
kOta, and 1t was printed In the new Ian
guage. This new language in types and
In book form was also "wowa-pe."
In 1859 the terrible Minnesota mas
sacre occurred, in which these Indians
figured largely. They were finally cap
tured, some of them hung, and others
banished to the wilds of Dakota, where,
becoming dissatisfied, they were removed
to the present reservation in Northern
Nebraska in 1867. They have not thought
of war since. Some have proved good
citizens, having taken land and the ad-
vantages of their elective franchise.

sixths Of those bitten by rabid animals are
attacked by hydrophobia and die
In view Of the absolute hopelessness of the
case when the disease is developed, prompt
tude in adopting preventive measures is i'm
perative. When a person is bitten, tn,
wound should be cleansed with hot wate
and Immediately thoroughly cauterized.
Nitric acid, caustic potash or concentrated
I've may be used, but the best cautery is hot
iron. In the absence of anything more ap
propriate, stove poker may be heated to d
red heat and then bored into the wound in
order to thoroughly destroy the virus in tn,
wound and the tissues for some depth An
ugly scar will very likely result, but in most
cases a surgical operation later will remove
any great deformity.
The method Of preventive incubation with
which the name of Pasteur is inseparably
connected consists in inoculating persons wh'
have been bitten by rabid animals with u
virus which has been modified by cultivation
In sterilized bouillon. The poison undergoes
certain changes which are not clearly under
stood, but which appear to weaken its efTec
so that 1t can be inoculated without producin'
any ill consequences. As the modified viru
produces its effects in q shorter period of time,
the inoculated individual becomes protected
against the outbreak of the disease. Will,
this seems very mysterious at first sight, it
has perfect analogue in vaccination. 1t is
known that the incubative, or, as it may he
termed, the ripening stage of smallpox is
twelve to fourteen days. In other words
an unvaccinated person exposed TO small
pox will not be taken sick will
the disease until at least twelve day
after the exposure. 1t takes that length
of time for the poison to incubate, hatch out
or ripen. The disease produced by vaccina
ton, on the other hand, is fully developed
eight or nine days after the poison is inserted
Advantage is taken of this fact by our health
officers, who vaccinate every one exposed to
smallpox, and so often prevent the spread of
this loathsome disease. The incubation Of
the modified rabies poison is supposed to act
in similar way; and hence the employment
of the Pasteur method, even after the person
is bitten is perfectly rational
A strict dog law and rigid measures of ex-
termination of the many worthless and home
less ours will reduce the opportunities for in
fiction and thus indirectly act as preventive
measures.

HOTELS IN SPAIN.


Caravanseries Which Fail to Satisfy Fas-
tidiOus Americans.
The hotels in Granada are very good, but
lack the conveniences to which Americans
are accustomed. Candles are the only lights
in the chambers, as is the rule in most coun-
tries in Europe, and are always charged
extra for in the bill, unless special stipu-
lation is made with the landlord at the begin
ming. Spanish cooking is decidedly below
par, and tastes chiefly of tomatoes and garlic;
but the hotels frequented by many travellers
generally have French chef and serve a
French bill of fare. The servants are poorly
paid, and in favorite tourist resorts depend
almost entirely on gratuities for their money.
One chambermald in Granada, for example,
received from the hotel thirty reales, or 81 30
a month, and She with the help of a twelve
year-old child, took all the care Of the rooms
occupied by from forty to eighty gu ests,
bargain, / besides answering s'' all the
bells on one floor and running errands. The
meals at Spanish hotel are coffee, chocolate
or tea, with roll on rising; a breakfast at
about noon consisting of, always first, eggs
in some form or other, then fried fish or
stewed kidneys, and then a steak or chops
closing with coffee Or frHit and last the
of seven or eight courses. Wine of very
good quality, both red and white, is always
included as q matter of course, and is Kept
constantly on the table in two-quart carafes,
one to every two persons, and these are al
ways refilled when the bottom is reached.
Milk is only secured as a regular thing
from goats, and is drawn from the natural
reservoir at the door. There is one or two
cows in every place, kept mostly as curiOsi-
ties, and their milk is considered very pre-
cious. Hany over-fastidious person insists
upon having cows milk with his coffee, the
milk is not brought in a can to the house,
but the COW is driven up and MIXED in plain
sight, to show that no deception is practiced.

CHARMS OF THE CHARMERS.
Some Hints to HomeIy Maids Upon the
Art of Fascination.

ooAuo ulu1 10 hOmeAy uhhus upon INC
Art Of Fascination.
l would like TO say a word about homely
girls and matrimony. If there be anything
that impresses itself on my mind in strolling
the sidewalks of this city and scrutinizing
the thousands of people meet every day, il
is that many of the prettiest women do not
marry at all. But this simply corroborates
what every man of character has found out
by experience, that some women possess a
power to win mems hearts which is entirely
independent of personal beauty. either of
face or figure. This art seems to consist in
the concealment of their own feelings under
the cover of cheerfulness, joyousness and
spice of friendly ridicule and contempt for
their victims. At least that is part of IL, for
the whole of it can never be told. BY means
of it many homely woman has inspired q
man with passion which has led him to re-
gard life or honor as q secondary considers
ton.
Any homely girl who wishes TO read q
graphic portrayal Of the art of coquetry and
the mannerin which it sometimes rises supe-
rior to any consideration of physique has
only to read Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre"
This power is most always a natural endow-
ment, and TO cultivate it is about as hopeful
as to cultivate musical or poetical talent
where none exists naturally. But lean give
the homely girl one pointer even on this
subject that will be useful. No one ever
knew q slattern or a melancholy woman or
q scold who ever possessed this Undesirable

tical good. 1t is a question requir-
ing time and patience for great results.
1t has taken nearly three generations to
gain the confidence of the few Sioux In
dams that have in any way advanced.
The great majority have not discovered
what genuine confidence is yet. That "a
good Indian is dead one" may satisfy
the longings of the ideal inhabitant of
the wild and woolly West" but it has
long since been demonstrated that he is
not a natural-born fool. He is undevel-
oped, like the wild prairie that he is wont
to roam. In turn, by cultivation and
training, he can be made to bring forth
fruit. 1t is the purpose of this article to
show that practical, industrial education
and soap make wonderful difference in
his growth toward civilization.
In 1884, twenty years before Longfel
lows "Hiawatha had been inspired,
Revs. Thomas S. Williamson and Stephen
r. Riggs, two missionaries, established
the Dakota mission in Minnesota among
the very people of whom the poet sang.
These Dakota, or Santee Sioux, were then

Training School at Santee agency. 1t was
the fruit of the early work of the father and
his co-laborer. The work commenced
with small beginnings. The purpose was
to raise up teachers, preachers, inter-
prefers and business men for the Sioux
nation. Industrial education has been
one of the prime objects. Housekeep-
ing, blacksmithing, shoemaking and car
penter work have been successfully car
ried on. Farming and other industrial
work have had some attention, though
not as extensively as the future will call
for.
Here boys and girls from the wild In
dian camps of frontier agencies of Mon
tana, Dakota and Wyoming are brought
and taught to work with hands and
minds. With possibly slight knowl-
edge of English, as taught in the gov
eminent schools there, they have little
practical knowledge of its use. The In
dian vernacular is, therefore, used in
most studies at this school. This Is done
because it is the easiest road to knowl-

edge. English composition and reading
are taught, but the principal object being
the Outstanding of these Indians as
future missionaries, the vernacular will
be most needful. The government,
which allows the school $97 so quarter
for each child, has recently issued an Or
der compelling the use of English exclu-
sively. This, however, will be rejected
as being one of the principal foundations
of Indian civilization. It seems to be
misunderstood by our statesmen. Those
who have had a life's experience in the
work should know better its needs than
those who have scarcely seen an Indian.
But these Indian children are by no
means backward in their English. At
the closing of the late term a very good
programme was proficiently rendered in
English, and songs and music, of which
they are very fond, were most admirably
executed. They are well cared for. Or
der and cleanliness, military drill, gym
nastic exercise, etiquette and everything
that goes to make up healthy and respect
able men and women are rigidly enforced.
They no longer worship the sun, moon
and stars, the birds and fishes, beasts and
creeping things" but are led in a more
humble way to the Christian life and
duty.
The buildings that go to complete this
educational institution, not including the
carpenter, blacksmith and shoe shops,
are as follows: The Dakota Home, for
girls, size 48x42 and wings, two-story;
the Birds Nest, for young children,
two-story, two wings, 20x40 each Young
Mems Hall, for boarding and industrial
work, two-story, 50x40; Boys Cottage,
two-story, two wings, 20x40 each; chapel
and school house, one-story, 26x50, with
extension; dining hall, three stories,
main part 42x94, heated throughout by
hot-air process. The total cost is about
$4,000. There will be built during the
coming two years new girls hall, a
theological hall, an additional academy
building and gymnasium, three cottages,
an ho,pital, printing office and several
additional Improvements at a cost of
$4,000.
The attendance during the past year
has been 1876. Besides this number six
advanced scholars have been sent to
Eastern schools to be educated, and
twenty-six are taking theological in
struction. The studies, with the number
taking advantage of them, are as follows:
